I'm interested in the suggestive and evocative qualities of the landscape, and how that landscape relates to the personal and collective memory and the personal and collective identity. I tend to translate the complex geopolitical reality into ambiguous reflections on the concepts of borders and land. My work revolves around places and communities which find themselves between appearing and disappearing, forgetting and remembering, construction and deconstruction, life and death, the utopian and the dystopian. As outposts of the Old and the New World they are subjected to war, persecution, colonialism, cultural genocide, migration, economic or demographic changes, globalisation, climate change, etc. I approache universal symbols around which people gather, coexist or live in conflict. These are recurring elements across the globe which collect and connect people and places who don't seem to share a common ground at first sight and remain merely exotic to the western mind. However, working across communities, places and formats opens our understanding and offers potential new readings of the present and of the past, and opens our understanding of place, belonging and identity. When we face the past we understand the present. When we understand the present we shape the future.
